Medicare

When my husband was diagnosed that he was a diabetic, we did not know that his health insurance covered the medicare part d. He is eligible for prescription drug coverage and is entitled to the all the benefits. He was able to obtain the Part D drug benefit through the Medicare Advantage plan that covers both medical services and prescription drugs. We really feel the importance of this benefit especially when my husband got the medical services without spending a dime.

My husband was referred to a company that provides him the free glucose test strips. That was really a huge savings for us because the test strips alone cost so much. The blood glucose monitor was also given for free when we call a number advertised on the TV. Not all drugs will be covered at the same level as what they say. But, we are just lucky that my husband got the right health coverage for him. The Medicare Part D is important and you should not take it for granted. If you can afford the premiums, you should get the plan that covers both medical services and prescription drugs. It does make a difference in the future once you need it.
